Ever hear something a tuner or someone who might know a thing or two (or sometimes people that THINK they know a thing or two) and wonder "WTF DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? We today we clear that up! Graham from Boosted Performance Tuning does the community a solid and explains a TON of terms tuners and those with tuning knowledge use and explains them in a way pretty much anyone should understand. This is a great one for beginners and old heads who need a refresh alike.
